“Rolling In the Deep”
Ep. 25
•
We review the big pros and potential cons of the 1-1 at Anfield while trying and failing to not get too hysterical over an enormous NLD. Emerson Royal is quite rightly celebrated, Rosa has her big Benjamin Davies moment and we break down Sonny's first 20-goal league season. The team also celebrate a fine season for Spurs Women—including a look at Rosa's experience taking her two kids to the season finale at the Stadium last weekend. And of course, we share out latest culture picks.
If you fancy skipping to certain bits:
00:00 — Liverpool
18:14 — Stressing about the NLD
23:13 — Spurs Women end the season at THS
30:02 — Culture recommendations (Ash: The Heart Part 5 by Kendrick Lamar and Simple. by IDK; Rosa: Love Life [BBC iPlayer], High Fidelity [Disney+] and Un Verano Sin Ti by Bad Bunny; Tom: Hacks [Amazon Prime Video], The Old Style Riders by Jamie T and The Line Is A Curve by Kae Tempest)

40. “United In Grief”
01:15:22Billie, Lauren and Rosa get together in the aftermath of another chastening week and exhort the fanbase — and our basket case of a club — to hold its nerve and stay the Ange course. (But also let’s end the season now.) We discuss another comeback from Spurs Women at Everton, and forward to the FA CUP FINAL 🤩. See you at Wembley! Follow us on Twitter: @_HometownGlory
39. “Plague”
01:08:35This is your post-NLD debrief: a safe space for sadness, anger, and crackpot conspiracy theories. Take a seat, feel all your feelings, and hopefully feel slightly better afterwards? PS we love you forever, Cuti.Follow us on Twitter: @_HometownGlory
38. “No Sleep”
01:04:20The gang assemble for possibly our last peaceful pod on this earth. Yes, it’s the NLD this weekend and nothing can stop it from happening. We share memories of past trauma, choose the player we most need to have a Big Game, and Billie, Lauren and Sam tell the fanbase (and Rosa) to get its act together. We have a look back at Spurs Women’s draw at Man Utd (and hope we can iron out the last wrinkles before we meet again in the final) and forward to Brighton at the weekend. We wrap it all up with some culture before we head off to make the appropriate offerings to our gods: the San Ti aren’t coming to save us from this one.

37. “Euphoria”
01:18:46I don’t know if you heard, but Spurs Women are going to the FA CUP FINAL!!!! Lauren and Rosa take a long, joyous look back at that historic Sunday in Tottenham as our magnificent women came back from conceding an early goal to beat Leicester City 2-1 at extra time. We discuss the vibes, the lineup, the subs, the tactics, the fitness and anything else we can think of, and still have time for a quick shoutout to the only men that matter (nope, not those clowns).

36. “Challengers”
01:11:37A very special, overly-excitable, slightly nauseous FA CUP SEMI-FINAL PREVIEW POD! Rosa and Lauren are joined by HG cousin Caroline as they look back at the journey (inc. penalty shootout heroics and Peak Ros) and forward to our historic game against Leicester City that could take us that final step closer to glory. But whatever happens, it’s been magical. Come on you Spurs! Follow us on Twitter: @_HometownGloryThe team on Twitter: Ash, Billie, Charlie, Rosa, Sam and Tom...

35. In My Place
01:09:59Another day, another inexplicably inconsistent first half performance followed by a barnstorming - ish - second half fightback from our lilywhites. We ponder the complexities of our performance against Forest, revisit past tragedy/comedy away at Newcastle, and dish out our latest culture picks.Follow us on Twitter: @_HometownGloryThe team on Twitter: Ash, Billie, Charlie, Rosa, Sam and Tom...

34. “Punch Drunk Love”
57:45Another late win, this time against the elite warriors of Luton Town. We discuss Bissouma’s fall and Brennan’s rise, wonder what to do with Kulu, marvel at our magnificent captain, and beg Tottenham to play more than 15 minutes of amazing football per game — especially with West Ham coming up. Pop quizzes, culture, apologies to parents and first time outings at the stadium for HG offspring: it’s all here.

33. “Eternals”
01:15:52Ash, Billie, Rosa and Sam come together to mostly ignore the actual football (bar a shoutout to GB’s heroics as Wales captain) to bring you the Hometown Glory Mount Rushmore Draft. Find out who the gang picked as their Modern Classic, Childhood Sweetheart, Certified Legend, and Wildcard. Plus! Does it matter if Spurs Women are only allowed to score in the second minute of games now? We wrap it all up with a Luton quiz starring the Ginger Pele himself, Gary Doherty, even more Dune chat, a mini Mexico travelogue, and the latest COYS celebrities.

32. “The Work of Angels”
01:21:41Welcome to Statement Win Sunday. The men took their revenge on Aston Villa by producing officially their most complete Angeball performance yet, and the women made history by finally scoring a goal against Manchester City…and then beating them on penalties to make it to the semi finals of the FA Cup for the first time EVER. A truly blessed day. All that, plus a Fulham quiz and the final word on the Oscars. Follow us on Twitter: @_HometownGloryThe team on Twitter: Ash, Billie, Charlie, Rosa, Sam and Tom...
